But but but Kinect isn't a peripheral.

The Kinect 1 was a big success and sold lots of 360's.

That is flawed though. It actually didn't sell many 360's at all outside of the USA. And clearly the fact that something is a one hit wonder merely reinforces the point that peripherals are not a good long term bet. Even Wiimote ended up failing. How can I say that you ask? Reverse back to 2008/9 Wii was selling faster than PS2 at the same time in its lifecycle. People were talking 200 million sales. The Source was even predicting Wii would reach PS2's LTD. Forward to 2011 Wii sales started bottoming out even before Wii U launched. The Wiimote ended up being one of the most successful fads in gaming, but it was a one hit wonder in the end. And it failed to secure Nintendo a solid  consumer base for multiple generations.

why can't everyone just be as smart as you. Then we wouldn't have so many stupid people!!
